2.

(a).

For the purposes of heading 3822, the expression certified reference materials means reference materials which are accompanied by a certificate which indicates the values of the certified properties, the methods used to determine these values and the degree of certainty associated with each value and which are suitable for analytical, calibrating or referencing purposes.

(b).

With the exception of the products of chapter 28 or 29, for the classifications of certified reference materials, heading 3822 shall take precedence over any other heading in the Schedule B.

3.

Heading 3824 includes the following goods which are not to be classified in any other heading of the export schedule:

(a).

Cultured crystals (other than optical elements) weighing not less than 2.5 g each, of magnesium oxide or of the halides of the alkali or alkaline-earth metals;

(b).

4.

Throughout the Schedule B, municipal waste means waste of a kind collected from households, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, shops, offices, etc., road and pavement sweepings, as well as construction and demolition waste. Municipal waste generally contains a large variety of materials such as plastics, rubber, wood, paper, textiles, glass, metals, food materials, broken furniture and other damaged or discarded articles. The term municipal waste, however, does not cover:

For the purposes of heading 3825, the expression other wastes applies to:

(a).

Clinical waste, that is, contaminated waste arising from medical research, diagnosis, treatment or other medical, surgical, dental or veterinary procedures, which often contain pathogens and pharmaceutical substances and require special disposal procedures (for example, soiled dressings, used gloves and used syringes);

For the purposes of subheadings 3825.41 and 3825.49, waste organic solvents are wastes containing mainly organic solvents, not fit for further use as presented as primary products, whether or not intended for recovery of the solvents.
